Learning an instrument in smaller increments promotes nervous system plasticity

The adult nervous system is capable of engaging in a huge amount of plasticity, but it needs to be done in smaller increments per learning epoch or per learning episode to be efficient for adults to learn an instrument or any other task.

Research shows that the adult nervous system is capable of a significant amount of plasticity, but it is best accomplished through smaller increments of learning episodes.

Adult Learning
Summary
Research shows that the adult nervous system is capable of a significant amount of plasticity, but it is best accomplished through smaller increments of learning episodes. Longer, more intense learning sessions are not as efficient as shorter, focused sessions for adults.
